Also came across Enid Blyton books for sale. OMG. They bring back all sorts of memories. I love reading, ever since I was a child, if you wanted to get my attention (or stop me from reading), you had to practically yank the book from my hands and out of my face. I'd stick my nose in them everywhere I went, even to school or the bathroom. Amazing, huh? I started off with Peter and Jane books, then moved on to Enid Blyton, Sweet Valley Twins, R.L. Stine, Christopher Pike, L.J. Smith, L.M. Montgomery... Then when I hit high school, I 'graduated' to more serious works, such as Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontė, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Daniel Defoe, Alexandre Dumas and the like, including biographies. I don't care much for romance novels. Sure, they're nice to dream about and all, but hardly productive. For me. Plus the graphic covers sort of repel me in some way. *shrugs* Give me classical literature any day. Now, THAT'S the way to write!
Sometimes I believe I was born in the wrong time. >.>
But anyway!
Reuby's gone from killing zombies to raising an army of fantasy creatures and castiing magic spells to take over the world. >.> Heroes of Might and Magic. And he made me feel like playing it too. :( I spent the whole of yesterday playing Mysteryville 1 & 2, and Book of Legends. Finished them and I'm currently on Bookworm Adventures Deluxe, which I absolutely love because I always seem to come up with these long-ass words which I would never have dreamed of using. My best word last night? COVENANTERS. What's up with that? LOL.
I have this vision of myself, playing Scrabble on my own, just to boost my vocab. >.> Sad, huh?
Reuby went out yesterday to watch This Is It in the town centre while I stayed home. Not a big fan, yeah. So he called to ask what he could get me (cos they were going out for food - I ended up cooking cauliflower soup. YUM!) and I said, "A LIFE." LOL. It's so sad being stuck here with nothing to do and it's too cold to go out and do stuff. Heck, if it was snowing (and thick enough, too!), I'd have liked to build a snowman and have snowball fights - to the horror of the university authorities who would throw a fit because we weren't keeping warm like we should. LOL. But seriously, fresh air is good for us! Not like they'd know. They like to shut themselves in, seal the windows and turn up the heat so it's boiling inside. ~.~
Well then, that was my day... Not much to do, as you can see.
I want more cauliflower soup! But we're out of cauliflower. -.- I don't feel like going out. It's foggy and the humidity is 100% plus the wind is, like, 26 kmh. It's warmer, though... 9 degrees Celsius, though the wind and humidity dragged it down to 6. Hmmm... I'm considering.
